Sankara Music

WHO ARE SANKARA? Once upon a time there was a Welsh folk-goth-psychedelic-metal band called Bluehorses. They released five albums, 2 live videos/dvds and played lots of folk and rock festivals all over Europe. The band ended in 2008, leaving guitarist Jay MacDonald & bassist Rhayn Jooste to look for something else to do. In 2009 a progressive rock band called the Reasoning decided to part ways with their co-lead vocalist / keyboard player Gareth Jones and drummer Vinden Wylde. Gareth and Vinden were founder members and played on the first two Reasoning albums as well as on numerous tours.

Blackjack Casino

What started out as a regular jam session between Ian (guitar) and Terry (Drums), eventually became a full writing band in winter 2010/2011 after the arrival of Ric (vocals) and (now former) bass player Ryan. The direction was clear, back to basics ol' fashioned Blues Rock, very much influenced by bands like Free and The Black Crowes, but giving it their own little stamp.

After playing several gigs around the Bolton/Preston area, the band was given the opportunity of playing Manchester Academy.

Kiki Pau

Kiki Pau is a lovable exception in today’s music scene. The band has been labeled an over-trendy indie group from Helsinki’s Punavuori, but Kiki Pau is in fact as organic as a rock group can be in today’s world. Influenced by 1980s and ‘90s alternative rock and 1960s and ‘70s classic pop, Kiki Pau gathered a wealth of positive attention from both critics and music bloggers two years ago with their ironically named debut "Let's Rock".
